Autpert Ambrose (Ambroise) (d. 778), Frankish Benedictine monk. He became abbot of San Vicenzo on the Volturno in South Italy in the time of Desiderius,? king of the Lombards. Autpert's election as abbot caused internal dissent at St. Vicenzo, and both Pope Stephen III and Charlemagne intervened. The disagreement was based both on objections to Autpert's personality and to his Frankish origin. |
